France will officially recognise a Palestinian state in September,
President Emmanuel Macron has said, which will make it the first G7
nation to do so.
In a post on X, Macron said the formal announcement would be made at a
session of the UN General Assembly in New York.
"The urgent need today is for the war in Gaza to end and for the
civilian population to be rescued. Peace is possible. We need an
immediate ceasefire, the release of all hostages, and massive
humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza," he wrote.
Palestinian officials welcomed Macron's decision, while Israeli Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the move "rewards terror" following
Hamas's 7 October 2023 attack in Israel.
